Hmm, the only thing I could find is a compex with a few residues of
fibrinogen - it's Pre-release from PDB:

5 THE SEQUENCE IS IN THE THROMBIN NUMBERING CONVENTION WITH
5 RESIDUE 1 AT THE POINT IT IS CLEAVED FROM PROTHROMBIN AND
5 ENDING WITH 308. FIBRINOPEPTIDE SEQUENCE NUMBERS ARE 309
5 TO 318 AND CORRESPOND TO RESIDUES 7 TO 16 OF FIBRINOGEN-A
5 ALPHA. THE N-TERMINUS OF THE FIBRINOPEPTIDE IS ACETYLATED.
5
6 THERE ARE THREE INDEPENDENT COMPLEXES IN THE ASYMMETRIC
6 UNIT. MOLECULE I IS EPSILON-THROMBIN (CHAIN BREAK BETWEEN
6 RESIDUES 199 AND 200), AND MOLECULES II AND III ARE
6 ALPHA-THROMBIN. FIBRINOPEPTIDE I HAS AN OCCUPANCY THAT
6 MAKES THE AVERAGE B OF ARG-318 ROUGHLY EQUAL TO THAT IN
6 FIBRINOPEPTIDES II AND III. THE DEPOSITORS DO NOT SEE ANY
6 DENSITY AT ALL FOR THROMBIN RESIDUES 1-13, AND POOR DENSITY
6 FOR THE N AND C TERMINI OF THE A CHAINS, THE C TERMINUS OF
6 THE B CHAINS, AND THE FIVE RESIDUES BORDERING 200 IN
6 MOLECULES II AND III.
FTNOTE 1
FTNOTE 1 RESIDUES PRO T 72, PRO U 72, AND PRO V 72 ARE CIS PROLINES.

If this will help you can retrieve the entire structure with gopher -
write me a note if you've never heard of gopher, I'll send you some info to
help get you started.
Best of luck,
